People in Hong Kong create super chaebols

On August 8, Su Cheng finally completed all his affairs in Hong Kong and embarked on a journey to New York City, the United States, thousands of miles away.

He chose to travel light on this trip, traveling only with a loyal and capable team of bodyguards, without any female relatives.

At Hong Kong's Kai Tak International Airport, Su Cheng stepped into his spacious and luxurious private jet, ready to start his flight across the ocean.

The plane stopped briefly in Tokyo and Los Angeles, and after nearly thirty hours of flight, it landed safely in New York City.

The last time I visited the United States was when Oracle Computer was launched. In a blink of an eye, two years have passed.

New York, this bustling city once again welcomed Sioux City with its unique charm.

After arriving in New York, Sioux City received a warm welcome from Apple executives.

Jobs personally went to the airport to greet them along with core team members including Steve Gary Wozniak and Michael Scott, demonstrating their high regard and respect.

Although Su Cheng does not directly interfere in Apple's daily operations, as Apple's largest shareholder, he undoubtedly enjoys the respect and courtesy he deserves.

What's more, Su Cheng also holds the prestigious status of the world's richest man, which makes him the focus of everyone's attention and deserves the highest respect from everyone at Apple.

"Mr. Su, long time no see." In the airport departure hall, Jobs smiled and enthusiastically extended his right hand to shake hands with Su Cheng, his words filled with the joy of reunion after a long separation.

"Hello, Mr. Jobs." Su Cheng responded in the same polite and friendly manner. Although this was only the second time the two met, they had a very pleasant chat in private last time, and both sides recognized each other's talents.

Afterwards, Su Cheng greeted Apple's core team members one by one, including Steve Gary Wozniak and Michael Scott.

He understands that Apple’s success today is inseparable from the joint efforts of these talented, hardworking and dedicated team members.

Therefore, he expressed his sincere gratitude and respect to every member.

Among this group of people, the one who impressed Su Cheng the most was Steve Gary Wozniak, one of the founders of Apple.

He has a unique appearance, with a thick beard covering his face, long hair fluttering in the wind, and a slightly plump figure. His overall look makes him look both individual and a little weird.

However, beneath this appearance, he is an engineer with superb skills and extraordinary abilities.

Steve Gary Wozniak's talent in the field of science and technology is remarkable, especially his contribution to Apple's first and second generation computers, which is undoubtedly an important milestone in the development of Apple.

It was his unremitting efforts and outstanding talents that laid a solid foundation for the birth of Apple computers and allowed Apple to begin to emerge on the stage of the technology industry.

Therefore, although Steve may appear a little different in appearance, his hidden technical prowess and love for technology have won the respect and admiration of everyone, including Sioux City.

"Mr. Su, we have arranged a hotel for you and the partners you brought with you. Our team will also stay there so that we can communicate at any time." Jobs said sincerely.

They are usually busy at their headquarters in California, and only gather in New York for major listing events like this one that are related to the company's future development. "Well, okay, thank you so much for your thoughtful arrangement." Su Cheng responded with a smile and nodded gently.

In fact, even if they did not make such arrangements, Su Cheng had the ability to arrange everything properly through the Su Group's branch in the United States.

But considering that the core of this event is Apple's IPO, staying in the same hotel with everyone will undoubtedly enable us to work more closely together and celebrate this important moment together.

The hotel where we stayed in Sioux City was carefully arranged by Apple to be near Times Square, the heart of New York. It is not only a world-renowned landmark, but also a symbol of prosperity and vitality.

The Nasdaq Stock Exchange, which will witness their important moment, is located at 151 Broadway, south of the corner of Times Square, adding more expectations and glory to this listing journey.

As their motorcade slowly drove into the hotel, the sky was already covered with sunset glow, announcing the arrival of evening.

Sioux City felt an instant familiarity with Times Square. The last time he visited the place, he had strolled through this bustling area many times, feeling the unique urban charm of New York.

Thinking back to the last experience, Su Cheng still remembers it vividly.

At that time, he held a grand launch event at the Grand Theater here, which was also close to Times Square. The event witnessed the glorious moment of Oracle's new computer products.

After successfully completing the check-in procedures, Jobs and others carefully prepared a welcoming banquet to express their warm welcome to Su Cheng and his accompanying team.

Today is August 8th, which means tomorrow is the day they go public.

In fact, Su Cheng came here on purpose at the tail end of the schedule, as he had budgeted for this time.

The atmosphere at tonight's welcoming banquet was extremely warm.

Jobs and his team passionately shared their extraordinary experience of traveling through the core business districts of major cities across the United States for the IPO roadshow over the past month.

From bustling New York to the technology powerhouse San Francisco, to the star-studded Los Angeles, vibrant Atlanta and historic Chicago, every place has left their hard work and investors' enthusiastic response.

"Mr. Su, based on the current momentum, tomorrow's listing will undoubtedly be a resounding success. We expect to raise a huge amount of capital flow, which will provide solid support for Apple's future development, especially research and development projects." Jobs' words revealed his excitement and pride that were difficult to conceal.

For him and the entire team, as long as they opened their mouths, Su Cheng would definitely be willing to invest heavily in Apple, but of course they couldn't do that, as that would be equivalent to gradually turning Apple into a private company.

Everyone knows how to consider their own interests, and Su Cheng understands them, so he did not stop them from thinking about listing Apple.

For Jobs and others, they were more eager to witness Apple officially become a highly anticipated listed company. This would not only be a milestone in their careers, but also the highest recognition of Apple's innovative spirit and excellent quality.

Once Apple goes public, they will quickly become millionaires, or even tens of millions or billionaires.

How could they refuse such an attractive offer? (End of this chapter)
